Feinstein Gun Control Bill to Exempt Government Officials

Not everyone will have to abide by Senator Dianne Feinstein's gun control bill. If the proposed legislation becomes law, government officials and others will be exempt.

"Mrs. Feinstein's measure would exempt more than 2,200 types of hunting and sporting rifles; guns manually operated by bolt, pump, lever or slide action; and weapons used by government officials, law enforcement and retired law enforcement personnel," the Washington Times reports.

The Bill of Rights was written to protect the individual from the government, not the other way around. Jefferson stated that "when people fear the government there is tyranny, when the government fears the people there is freedom."

Obamafuhrer approves

Because everyone knows depriving someone of the right to own an AR-15 and shoot off a 30 round clip is the same as selling them into slavery
